AN APPEAL FROM BAHUJAN SAMAJ PARTY (BSP)
FOR THE PARLIAMENT ELECTION-2009 IN OUR COUNTRY

Brothers & Sisters,

As we all aware that BSP is the only party in the country that “believes in doing, rather than speaking”. Hence our party doesn’t issue any “election declaration note”, full of glittering promises at any election like other parties do, but issues an “appeal” to only vote for BSP to accomplish the dreams of uncountable saints, gurus and great men born in Bahujan Samaj, especially Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Chatrapati Shahuji Maharaj, Narayana Guru, Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and Honorable Shri Kanshiram Ji, by moving on the path suggested by these great men, so that our party could make the government with good results in election and it could make the lives of sad and victim people from every single society happy through the master key of political power as describing the significance of the master key of political power “ Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar used to say that political power is such a master key, with the help of which, all problems can be solved.

On the basis of this thought of Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar, our party is taking part in this upcoming Loksabha election by it’s own strength and preparation on nearly all seats, means our party has not made any election collaboration with any political party for this election.

But now an important question arises that why it is required by common people of the country to vote for BSP only and not to vote for “Congress” and “BJP” and their political alliances. This major and significant issue should be described here.

On this issue, our party believes that BSP is the one and only party in our country, whose “vision”, “policies” and “working style” lay in the benefit of all communities and our party shows on the ground whatever it says for the benefit for all communities, while other parties assure very much and work only in nut-shell, means often their work remains limited up to papers and seems completed a little on the ground reality.

This is a major reason due to which, after completing over 61 years of freedom in this country, “Bahujan Samaj, that includes ST/SC, other backward class and various religious minorities like Sikh, Muslim, Christian, Persian and Bauddha etc.” and covers nearly 85% of the total population of our country, has seen no change in “social & economical” condition because of the wrong policies played by the governments of communism believing parties.

And I have stated the talk of wrong policies especially in here because in our country, in central and mostly in states, all governments of whichever parties have come, they were formed due to economical help of giant capitalists, that is why these parties after making the government, prepare every “economical policy” according to them, which means that these governments don’t make economical policies to solve the problems of common people. This is the major reason due to which, the economical condition of poor people from upper castes along with Bahujan Samaj is still sad and poor.

Concerning all these facts in the focus and following the learning given by Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar, we have established our different political party naming “Bahujan Samaj Party” (BSP) on 14th April, 1984 under the leadership of “Honorable Shri Kanshiram Ji” and as of now this party has become a valuable party of “National Level”.
Not only this, our party has simultaneously exceed its favor among the people of this country and now it has sent its victorious MPs in the parliament as well as MLAs across many states. In addition to this, the government has been formed under the leadership of our party for four times in Uttar Pradesh and all four times the government of our party has concerned the “development and justice” for all communities, but priority has been given to those people of Bahujan Samaj, who were ignored extremely in terms of “social and economical” aspects during the working period of former governments. Taking this fact seriously, the government of our party has commenced welfare departments for each and every part to bring progress in “social and economical” condition of Bahujan Samaj in Uttar Pradesh for the very first time in our country and it has especially selected Dalit dense regions under “Dr. Ambedkar Gram Vikas Yojna” to connect them with all kind of basic facilities and now the title of this project has been changed to “Baba Saheb Ambedkar Uttar Pradesh Gramsabha Samagra Vikas Yojna”.

Similarly, “Shahri Samagra Vikas Yojna” on the name of Honorable Shri Kanshiram Ji, has been commenced, through which all the small-big towns, cities and localities are being developed step by step.

In the addition to this, for the poor people who, due to helplessness, had been living illegally by making slums on the land of departments of the state government since years before 15.01.2009, a decision has been taken by our party government to provide them the right of ownership on maximum 30 square meter and minimum 15 square meter of residential land and maximum 10 square meter of commercial land for livelihood under “Sarvajan Hitay Shahri Garib Aawas (Slum Area) Malikana Haq Yojna”. Any former government in the history of this state had not taken such kind of decision; hence government officials, land mafia and municipal officials have been exploiting these poor people since years. But after the effect of this policy from 15.01.2009, on the one end they got an ownership right on the land to live in city areas and on the other end, they received freedom from all kind of exploitation.

In addition to this, by giving special priority to Dalit, exploited and backward people among which, poor people without roof are being provided two room concrete homes and empty government land is being allocated with ownership to helpless people. Millions of poor people have been directly benefited through this and this project is still going continue.

Also to promote education, the government of our party has provided scholarship to other backward class and poor children from religious minority, especially Muslim students as provided to ST/SC students here in Uttar Pradesh, for the first time in India and concerning the expenses, the rate of this scholarship has been increased to double, which is distributed among students as they enter in the class. Moreover, to send poor students from these classes on higher jobs, our government has arranged for “free government coaching”.

In addition to this, a new era has been introduced in the higher and technical education sector for poor students from upper castes along with children of these classes, according to which, a historical decision of sending such students to Europe and other foreign countries for higher education on government expenses for the first time in newly built Gautam Buddha University located at Gautam Buddha District (Greater Noida) has been taken.

Not only this, addressing the priority to the development of SC and ST, 25% capital of the state budget has been arranged separately. Similarly, to generate the feeling of being safe among the people of Bahujan Samaj, for the first time in country, “reservation” has been arranged to make the police officials from this society being the chief of police station.

The rights of the biggest part of “religious minority community”, ie Muslim community people, have been completely concerned at every aspect in the state. Efforts for their economical development and complete security of their life-material and religion have been done. Moreover, for the first time in the state, the government of our party has included economically backward people from Muslim community in backward class and facilitated them with reservation in education, state level government jobs and other sectors.

New initiative in the field of reservation: We, in the field of reservation also, have completed the pending from years backlog of “reservation” of people from ST/SC and other backward class in government jobs and other sectors at state level during all our four governments by conducting special campaign.

Nevertheless, jurisdiction, ministry, Rajyasabha, Vidhan Parishad and private sectors etc. in whichever sectors the facility of “reservation” to the people from ST/SC and other backward class has not been provided by the central government, our party is continuously striving to facilitate them with reservation in such sectors and uncountable letters have been written to the central government on this context. In addition to this, to include the people from SC/ST in the list of SC/ST, who have converted themselves into Christian or Muslim and to provide them the additional benefit of reservation by sustaining their current reservation, our party has written letter to the central government for several times, but no government of any party has acclaimed their right demands till date.

Not only this, but the reservation, that is being provided to ST/SC and other backward class people in government jobs in “government departments and institutions” at center and all states of the country due to rib-breaking efforts of Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar, is being tried to end simultaneously by the governments of congress, BJP and their alliances through providing it to “private sectors” at a wide level, while the facility of reservation in “private sectors” at central and state level is still not available for backward classes. Smashed under this condition, one day the reservation would die automatically. Concerning this fact, our party is very much “worried” and the people belonging to these classes in our country are required to be very “alert” about this.

And on this issue, our party believes that the reservation for the people from ST/SC and other backward class in our country could be “saved” along with the availability of reservation facility in non-reserved sectors too, only if these people make the central as well as state government by themselves with their own party. The absolute evidence of this fact lays in the formation of our party’s government in Uttar Pradesh, where the government of BSP is the only government in our country that has assured the guarantee of maintaining the pre-existing reservation after the consignment of any “government department” and “institution” to private sectors in Uttar Pradesh.

Moreover, subjecting the matter of reservation, I would like to inform “upper caste” people also that our party is in the favor of providing separate reservation to poor people from these classes too. But this will be powered by the “central” government through making some change in the constitution of India. Hence, the government of our party has written letter to the government of India for so many times to provide separate reservation to these classes on economical basis. But no government of any party has accepted our recommendation till date. But concerning this, I want to assure the people from “upper castes” that the day, when the central government of our party is formed like Uttar Pradesh, the government of our party would set meaningful efforts to remove poverty and unemployment from these classes too by providing reservation. And you people already know the fact about the working style of our party that our party materializes whatever it says, means there is no difference in the saying and doing of our party.

Our party has been completely sensitive and serious about the reservation along with social security. That is why we have increased the amount of aged/farmer pension from 150 Rs. to 300 Rs. With this, the labor class, which is classified as the poorest and the weakest class of our society, mostly compiled with farming labors and which has never been in the consideration due to the lack of unity. The government of our party has immediately increased their daily payment to 100 Rs. from 58 Rs. Not only this, daily payment of cleaning workers has been increased to 100 Rs. from 73 Rs.

It is known to all that agriculture and farmers have been ignored very much during 61 years long ruling period of congress, BJP and their alliances, but the government of our party in Utter Pradesh has kept agriculture and farmers too on priority and it has especially paid attention towards them also. Our government is providing an opportunity to youth to live with honor, self-respect and independence by arranging permanent employment for them, rather than giving them scholarship for unemployed. And from 13 May 2007 to January 2009, means in less than the period of two years, permanent employment has been arranged for 7 lac people in government sectors and 2 lac people in non-government sectors and these people belong to all communities.

In addition to this, the government of our party has completely concerned the benefits for people involved in “farming”, “laboring”, “trading” and “other professions” along with poor and unemployed people from all communities and it has taken many significant decisions for their benefits.

Woman Empowerment: To improve social and financial condition of women in Uttar Pradesh, “heir rights” have been provided to daughters belong to all communities on the assets of their fathers through making change in act- 171 and 174 of Uttar Pradesh land lordship uproot and land management provision 1950 by our government. Before this, I have made this “legal right” provided to widows during my second ruling period in year 1997.

In addition to this, focusing on the bright future of girls of this state, the government of our party has started off two significant policies on the occasion of my 53rd birthday. The first policy has been started naming “Mahamaya Garib Balika Ashirwad Yojna” in the state, under which our government fix deposits capital on the name of the girl born after 15 January 2009 in the families below poverty line and she will get a lump-sum amount of Rs. 1 lac after completing 18 years of age. This policy would emphasize the attitude of welcoming a girl’s birth with full of happiness contrary to assuming the newly born as a load and this would help in the improvement of decreasing ratio of sex in the state.

Similarly, for the development of girls’ education in the state, the second policy naming “Savitribai Fule Balika Shiksha Madad Yojna” has been started under which, the decision of providing a lump-sum amount as an encouragement to 10th passed girls from the families below poverty line has been taken.

On this context, I want to inform that our government is providing “a ladies bicycle” along with a lump-sum amount of Rs. 15 thousand to girl, when she enters in 11th class and if she gets passed in 11th class and enters in 12th class, then she would be provided an extra amount of Rs. 10 thousand for further education by the government. All these amounts would be given separately from scholarship or other facilities.

Along with these initiatives, our party has respected and honored a number of saints, gurus and great men born in Bahujan Samaj, who have been ignored by former governments. On their names, we have initiated various public welfare policies for the benefit of all communities and many “new districts”, “universities”, “memorials’ and “museums” have been established with their names.

Besides this, I would like to inform that since after getting freedom and even till today Dalit, backward class and other ignored class people have been the victims of various kind of outrage by caste-ridden people and they are not getting the right justice at right time. But our party, after becoming the ruling party of the central government would not tolerate any sort of “injustice and outrage” with any class of any community in the country, means it would provide justice to all with honesty and commitment and establish an “injustice-free, crime-free and fear-free environment” by building “kingdom of law by the law” in the country as it has done in Uttar Pradesh.

With this, the people who are turning into Naxlites due to lack of proper development of region, injustice, exploitation, poverty and pathetic condition, who have not been paid appropriate attention by central and state governments till now, but our party after taking the command of central government, will distract them from Naxlizm by finding out a permanent solution of their problems and it will strive to take them in mainline of development by providing them “permanent employment”.

Besides this, terrorism has become a major problem and challenge for our country from some past years. Central government’s own “carelessness”, “weaknesses” and “political means” up to some extent seem to us as major reasons behind this. But our party would eye this very seriously.

And as far as Rashtriya Rojgaar Guarantee Yojna (NAREGA) is concerned, under this policy, employment is given for only 100 days from 365 days in a year and this is provided to only one unemployed person of the family. But after getting into the central government, our party would initiate such a scheme that could assure poor people, living in rural regions over the country, permanent employment through out the year, means all 365 days of employment.

Besides this, after arriving in the central government, all the policies of “national and international” level would be made by our government through concerning all communities and moreover the people of all the religions and castes. The “foreign policy” of our country would also be prepared according to all these concerns. It means honor, dignity and dominion would be especially kept in concern along with security of the country, while making foreign policy and memorandum.

Apart from this, policies of “all the ministries” in the central government would be critiqued and then conducted properly, so that the complete benefit could meet the common people of our country directly with ease. And not only this, but the government of our party would not make any such deal with any country of this world, which may further make our nation a slave of that country.

Parallel to this, our government at any case would not make any such “financial policy”, which result in the development of some capitalists only, rather than the development of capital like former governments. It means our party wants the increment of capital in our country more than the development of capitalists, so that lives of common people, rural and urban people, farmers, labors, traders and other professionals could be joyful.

Thus every “financial policy” of our government would be for the benefit of common public, means it would not turn rich into richer and poor into poorer, which has been happening during the ruling period of congress, BJP and their alliances till now in our country and in most of states. And only then the poor people of our country can properly get the meal for two times a day. Only after this the missionary goal of our party to build the environment of “benefit to all and happiness to all” across the country can be achieved in a true manner.

But for this, people are required to hold “the master key of political power” in their own hands by showing excellent result of our party in these Loksabha elections. For such results, they are required to be very alert from all wit-money-weapon-difference etc like a lot of conspiracies of opposition parties as opposition parties can go across any extent to defeat our party.

In this scenario, opposition parties would especially and extensively strive that our party could not get any vote from upper caste people at any cost and for this, opposition parties can attempt to wrongly put the “vision and policies” of our party in a disordered form among these classes. While the vision and policies of our party are not against any caste and religion, it means BSP wants to establish “solidarity based social system” in this country, which is beneficial for all communities, by changing the non-equality social system based on caste. And if the people from upper castes want to collaborate with Bahujan Samaj by changing their “mentality of caste distinction”, then Bahujan Samaj Party always welcomes them with respect and honor to enter and move ahead. This statement means that the vision and policies of BSP are not against the people from upper castes.

Here I want to make it clear that if the vision and policies our party were against “upper caste”, then why our party has kept these classes in nation and state level organizations of BSP? Why it has set them for taking part in Loksabha and Vidhansabha elections with it’s own ticket and why it has provided honorable designation of minister to them after formation of its government? Now this is completely visible that all the policies and vision of our party are based on “benefit to all and happiness to all”.

Apart from this, herein I want to make it clear about the “vision and policies” of BSP that solidarity based social system in our country can’t be established by making an organization consisting only the people of Bahujan Samaj. To do so, we will have to keep upper caste Hindus with us on the basis of social brotherhood by changing their caste distinction mentality, only then “solidarity based social system” based on the vision of the creator of Indian constitution “Babasaheb Dr. Ambedkar” can be established in our country. This is the only condition after which all communities in the country can be tied with one string and caste distinction can be removed forever from our society and our party can get an opportunity to execute central as well as state governments.

But the people of BSP will have to keep in their minds that congress, BJP and their collaboration alliances would not let us come into central and states governments easily and all the existing opposition parties will utilize all kind of conspiracies to stop us from getting into central and states government, hence during each and every step the people of our party will have to be very alert about this.

Along with this, my “appeal” to all the people of our party across the country is that “be alert, your vote is precious, no vote could be bought, no vote could be looted, no vote could remain outstanding and your vote could not be misused by any fraud on the name of caste, money, temple-mosque or emotion. This means democracy must be secured anyhow. Hence for the benefit of all communities, your sate and the country, you will have to consign the central government in hands of right party, that is BSP, so that with the help of ruling, the government of our party could make the life of poor people from Bahujan Samaj and upper cast joyful by designing its each policy according to “benefit to all and happiness to all” at every aspect of life here.

At the end, keeping all these facts in concern, I make an “appeal” to associates, followers and well-wishers of our party that the people of our party will not be distracted by any alluring promises given in “election” declaration notes of opposition parties, it means they will comply with the “appeal” of our party and in the election for Loksabha taking place currently in our country, they will make all the participants of BSP victorious indeed by pressing the button situated opposite to our party’s election-icon “elephant”.
